    <title>Extending repository organization</title>

    <para>Occasionly, you may find that new components of The CentOS

    Project Corporate Identity need to be added to the repository in

    order to work them out. If that is the case, the first question we

    need to ask ourselves, before start to create directories blindly

    all over, is: @emph{What is the right place to store it?}</para>

    <para>The best place to find answers is in The CentOS Community

    (see page @url{http://wiki.centos.org/GettingHelp}), but going

    there with hands empty is not good idea. It may give the

    impression you don't really care about. Instead, consider the

    following suggestions to find your own comprehension in order to

    make your own propositions based on it.</para>

    <para>When extending respository structure it is very useful to

    bear in mind The CentOS Project Corporate Identity Structure

    (@pxref{Directories trunk Identity}) The CentOS Mission and The

    CentOS Release Schema. The rest is just matter of choosing

    appropriate names. It is also worth to know that each directory in

    the repository responds to a conceptual idea that justifies its

    existence.</para>

    <para>To build a directory structure, you need to define the

    conceptual idea first and later create the directory. There are

    some locations inside the repository that already define some

    concepts you probably want to reuse. For example,

    @file{trunk/Identity/Images/Themes} to store theme artistic

    motifs, @file{trunk/Identity/Models/Themes} to store theme design

    models, @file{trunk/Manual} to store documentation files,

    @file{trunk/Locales} to store translation messages,

    @file{trunk/Scripts} to store automation scripts and so on.</para>

    <para>To illustrate this desition process let's consider the

    @file{trunk/Identity/Images/Themes/TreeFlower/3} directory

    structure as example.  This directory can be read as: the theme

    development line of version @file{3} of @file{TreeFlower} artistic

    motif. Additional, we can identify that artistic motifs are part

    of themes as well as themes are part of The CentOS Project

    Corporate Identity. These concepts are better described

    independently in each documentation entry related to the directory

    structure as it is respectively shown in the list of commands

    bellow.

        <listitem>

        </listitem>

    </itemizedlist> 

    </para>

    <para>The concepts behind other location can be found in the same

    way described above, just change the path information used above

    to the one you are trying to know concepts for.</para>
